I like Clevelands! Stock 351W vs Stock 351C (even just the 2V) I'd take the 351C any day.

The problem with Clevelands nowadays is that they're getting expensive to modify. And with the availability of aftermarket heads, the 351C loose their biggest advantage (awesome heads). A built 351W will put out pretty much the same as a build 351C, but can usually be built for cheaper (and 50-100Lbs less weight). Machine your block for 4 bolt mains (or buy a main girdle) and you have almost the same strength in the bottem end also (as long as your Rods,pistons,and crank are up to the task).
